Rose Infused Cashew Lassi Recipe

Lassi, a traditional yogurt-based drink from India, is full of probiotics that enhance skin and hair beauty by promoting proper intestinal flora and aiding digestion. In fact, according to Ayurvedic texts, lassis made with carefully selected spices have been used for centuries to help with a myriad of health conditions.
This recipe favors cashews instead of dairy, making it even more digestible. The addition of rose water adds a little note of sensuality and the cardamom a touch of exotic.
